Cocktail Recipe: The Income Tax

Recipes Cocktails
The Income Tax Bluecoat Jason Varney/for PhillyVoice

Tax season got you down? Try an Income Tax cocktail while waiting for your refund check.

The IRS tax filing deadline is only one week away and you probably couldn't feel more bitter. The cure? Bitters. Add some to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, Bluecoat Barrel Finished Gin, orange juice and vermouth for the perfect Income Tax, a sweet-and-sour cocktail that can take the edge off tax season. Enjoy while you're waiting for a refund check. 

The Income Tax:

1 1/2 ounces Bluecoat Barrel Finished Gin
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
3/4 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice
2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake vigorously. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an expressed orange twist.
